Abstract
Posture is the most healthy and correct placement of each region in the body when compared to the whole body. The predominantly use of one side of the body disrupts the posture. A bad posture changes the center of gravity of the body and causes chronic skeletal and muscle soreness. It is aimed to determine whether there is a rehabilitative effect of football training that does not require the use of dominant arms on posture asymmetries which may occur in the basketball which requires the use of dominant arm and leg in the study.15 male basketball players who played basketball for an average of 8 years with a mean age of 21.7 ± 1.5 years participated as volunteers. Postures of the subjects were measured with PostureScreen Mobile® before and after 12 week football trainings with lateral and anteriorly taken photographs. SPSS 22 was used program for statistical analysis. While analyzing of data Wilcoxon Test method was used and it is determined as significance level was p<0.05.After 12 weeks of football training, statistically significant differences were found in measurements taken from the anterior and lateral positions on the head, shoulder, ribcage, hip, and knee measured tilts and shifts. Estimated average head weight decreased depending on the posture of the cervical vertebrae and a significant difference was detected. Postures of subjects came close to the correct posture.Basketball is an acycle sport branch that requires the use of muscles on the dominant side. It creates an asymmetric position on the athlete due to this feature; causes shifting and tilts. In order to eliminate postural disorders that occur, the effectiveness of football training that does not require to use of the dominant side of the body has been demonstrated.
Highlights
Posture is defined as a proper alignment of body parts and is an important health indicator and a motor habit accompanying daily activities (Kendall, McCreary, & Provance, 2005)
Basketball players' answers to individual questions such as date of birth, sports background, metabolic illnesses, whether they are on a diet or not, were taken and homogeneity was achieved within the study group
Significant differences were found after 12 weeks of football training in all of the parameters used to assess posture
Summary
Posture is defined as a proper alignment of body parts and is an important health indicator and a motor habit accompanying daily activities (Kendall, McCreary, & Provance, 2005). Postural control is a necessary skill for all physical activities. In order to maintain postural control, the flexor and extensor muscles play an important role by working in a synergistic reverse manner (Trew & Everett 1997). Balance is one's ability to hold their center of gravity within the supporting surface. Posture (static balance) is the continuation of the individual static position. Postural performance (dynamic balance) is the active control of the posture and position of the body in order to be able to move adequately and effectively without falling while at rest or in motion, in different environments and situations (Shumway-Cook, & Horak, 1986)
